ra.zeh describes a condition of being lean, applied to land in Numbers and to sheep in Ezekiel.

The two attestations describe leanness as a condition: land is assessed as rich or lean in Numbers 13:20, while sheep are distinguished as fat or lean in Ezekiel 34:20.

1. Lean in contrasted conditions · dominant

   Both occurrences use the feminine singular absolute adjective in a contrast: in Numbers 13:20 the land is examined as “rich or lean,” and in Ezekiel 34:20 the APB renders the judgment as between “the fat sheep and the lean sheep.”

   Numbers 13:20Ezekiel 34:20

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “lean” in both verses, contrasting it with “rich” for land in Numbers 13:20 and with “fat” for sheep in Ezekiel 34:20. These renderings confirm the clauses' contrasts rather than establish finer distinctions.
